SUNLAB graduate students shined at the Faculty of Engineering 12th Research Poster Competition held on March 3, 2020. PhD candidate Neda Nouri received the IEEE first prize for her poster on “Modeling of thin high-efficiency photonic power converters operating at 1310 nm illumination”. In the “Photonics for devices, networks and […]

The SUNLAB welcomes fourth year electrical engineering undergraduate students Magtireh Mahad, Amadou Erwan Ouedraogo, Sandy Sitamdze and Benjamin Wolf who have been working away at their capstone project since January. They are presently designing controls and power-handling components to regulate fixed increment loads so as to balance power arriving from […]

Congratulations to MASc candidate in electrical engineering Robert (Kibby) Pollak, CEO of MyPitboard!, on being awarded the Best Business Opportunity Award at the Startup Garage Rally which took place on August 29, 2019. MyPitboard! is a new startup developed and created by current uOttawa Faculty of Engineering students. It is […]

SUNLAB students and researchers attended the 19th International Conference on Numerical Simulation of Optoelectronic Devices last July. Watch undergraduate summer student Adam Johnston’s VLOG to learn more about their experience.

The SUNLAB test site is now operational following its move to the University of Ottawa Lees campus. In May 2019, with the help of Morgan Solar engineers, SUNLAB students and researchers installed 2 Savanna trackers and 24 solar panels for a capacity of 7 kW. The test site will be […]
